This is the second time the federal agency has taken to the web in the last three months to discuss issues at the plant. In October, officials called it “a novel approach” to reach residents.

“The meeting is being held on a Saturday as a direct result of feedback we received from the public to try and discuss issues at a more convenient time when people may not be working,” said NRC Region III Administrator Charles Casto.

The meeting will address recent problems including the November steam leak on a drain valve and a leaking a water storage tank over the summer that kept the plant shut down for almost a month.

Inspectors say the facility has addressed the safety issues that plagued the plant for several years but they will conduct more than 1,000 extra hours of inspections this year.

The plant at 27780 Blue Star Highway is owned by New Orleans-based Entergy Corp.

Parts of Allegan County in Casco Township are within a 10-mile-radius Emergency Planning Zone — the prime area where people could be effected by a radiation leak from the plant and evacuations would be mostly likely in an emergency.

The rest of the county, as well as Holland and Ottawa County, are in a 50-mile secondary emergency zone where people could receive indirect exposure to radiation through contaminated food and water if there was a radiation leak.
